Technical Abstract

A backlight module and a display device are provided. The backlight module includes: a light source unit; a light guide plate, for guiding light to a display panel; an optical component for uniformly irradiating the display panel; and a back plate, at least including a bottom plate, for accommodating the light guide plate, the light source unit, and the optical component. The light guide plate and the optical component are provided with a hole penetrating through the two, a part of the back plate at the hole is bent and inserted into the hole to form a side wall, a side end surface of the optical component close to the hole is inclined regarding an axis of the hole, and an annular light-shielding structure is around a top surface of the hole.

3

3. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein the composite prism sheet comprises two prism sheets arranged in a stack, and extension directions of prism structures of the two prism sheets are perpendicular to each other.

4

4. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein an inclination angle between the side end surface of the optical component and the axis of the hole ranges from 20 degrees to 70 degrees, inclusively.

5

5. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein a top surface of the side wall is flush with a top surface of the optical component.

6

6. The backlight module according to claim 5, wherein the light-shielding structure is on the top surface of the side wall and the top surface of the optical component.

7

7. The backlight module according to claim 5, wherein the light-shielding structure is on the top surface of the side wall, the top surface of the optical component, and the inclined side end surface of the optical component.

8

8. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein a side surface of the side wall that is close to the light guide plate is coated with a light absorbing material.

9

9. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein a surface of the light guide plate that is away from the light-exiting surface is provided with a reflective sheet.

10

10. The backlight module according to claim 1, wherein the annular light-shielding structure is an annular light-shielding tape, and the annular light-shielding tape is adhered around the top surface of the hole.

12

12. The display device according to claim 11, wherein the composite prism sheet comprises two prism sheets arranged in a stack, and extension directions of prism structures of the two prism sheets are perpendicular to each other.

13

13. The display device according to claim 11, wherein an inclination angle between the side end surface of the optical component and the axis of the hole ranges from 20 degrees to 70 degrees, inclusively.

14

14. The display device according to claim 11, wherein a top surface of the side wall is flush with a top surface of the optical component.

15

15. The display device according to claim 14, wherein the light-shielding structure is on the top surface of the side wall and the top surface of the optical component.

16

16. The display device according to claim 14, wherein the light-shielding structure is on the top surface of the side wall, the top surface of the optical component, and the inclined side end surface of the optical component.

17

17. The display device according to claim 11, wherein a side surface of the side wall that is close to the light guide plate is coated with a light absorbing material.

18

18. The display device according to claim 11, wherein a surface of the light guide plate that is away from the light-exiting surface is provided with a reflective sheet.

19

19. The display device according to claim 11, wherein the annular light-shielding structure is an annular light-shielding tape, and the annular light-shielding tape is adhered around the top surface of the hole.
